Bell’O Claims Victory in Patent Ruling

Bell’O this week praised a ruling by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, which rejected claims in the suit against the company by Whalen Furniture Manufacturing, Inc.

“We are very pleased that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has adopted our arguments and has rejected all of Whalen’s ‘311 and ‘485 patent claims in the reexamination,” CEO Marc Sculler said in a statement. ” Bell’O has not infringed any of Whalen’s alleged patent rights and Bell’O will continue to vigorously defend against Whalen’s allegations.
